Feel the Rush of Emotion: The Moving Stills Drop 'Running Out'

Fresh off the success of 'Telephone', which became triple j's most-played song, The Moving Stills are back with their latest single, 'Running Out'. Known for their infectious blend of alt-indie pop, the Central Coast (Darkinjung Country) band continue to deliver danceable grooves layered with heartfelt storytelling.

'Running Out' captures the feeling of emotional overload, the push and pull of wanting to share your struggles while fearing you might be asking too much of someone else. The track balances upbeat energy with emotional weight, creating an addictive listen that feels both melancholic and uplifting.

"It's an exciting new sound for us," the band shares. "We love the contrast of its driving rhythm with its deeper emotional meaning, it's going to be a huge one to play live."

Since forming, The Moving Stills have steadily built a reputation for crafting nostalgic, melody-driven indie anthems. Their second album, 'Wabi Sabi', released in November 2023, was a defining moment, landing Feature Album on triple j and earning full rotation on all singles. The album also landed in the ARIA Top 20 Vinyls of the Week (#2) and Top 10 Australian Albums (#6).

Their momentum skyrocketed with 'Telephone', which dominated triple j airwaves and landed on key Spotify and Apple Music playlists, including New Music Fridays AU & NZ, Front Left, Indie Arrivals, and Coast to Coast. The band also landed a cover spot on Amazon's Down Under Playlist in December 2024.

The Moving Stills have been non-stop on the road, headlining national and regional tours while sharing the stage with artists like Nothing But Thieves and The Rubens. In 2024, they played major festivals including SXSW Sydney, Woodford Folk Festival, and The Great Escape (Tas). Now, they're gearing up for their biggest tour yet, joining Spacey Jane on their AUS/NZ album tour (April, June & July 2025).

Beyond radio and streaming, their music is making an impact across TV and media, with 'Westside' currently synced to a Western Australian Government ad promoting Perth City, and the music video for 'Telephone' recently airing on ABC's Rage.
